Convergence           1/17/2017

It is nothing good

And it is nothing new

That all we were told

Was never right

And never true.

A one sided onslaught

And a one sided fall

Over worked

And over spent

Hollowed out

And dumb.

We should

Have seen it coming

But all who did

Were demonized

And shunned.

Vilified and hounded

By the violent

And the dumb

All clinging to a past

That was never true at all. 

Accustomed to surrender

And helped with every step

Evil survives

Feeding off of blood.

Standing on the corner

And staring into nothingness

Dead eyes

And empty souls. 

Sometimes alone

But often in packs

The beasts of the field

Hunting on the street. 

Relentless tools

The good are beaten

With a cudgel

Incrementally defeated

By inertia

And time. 

Standing at a crossroad

We live

At zero point merge

Excitement, danger

Improbable and possible. 

Beware the hatred

Hissing through the teeth

As many a fool has died

Just before

Breaking free.
